Furthermore, the Committee noted that, according to the documents provided by the parties, while the extent of the appeal was limited after the author had become a fugitive, his conviction and sentence were reviewed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, which has a statutory obligation to review all death penalty cases.
Además, el Comité observó que, de acuerdo con los documentos facilitados por las partes, aunque el alcance del recurso quedó limitado cuando el autor huyó, el fallo de culpabilidad y la condena del autor fueron revisados por el Tribunal Supremo de Pensilvania, que debe examinar todos los casos de pena capital.
